In his new position, Jason Marques will lead the continued development of Tivoli Avenida Liberdade, strengthening its standing as one of the Portuguese capital’s landmark hotels while preserving the character and heritage that have defined the property for generations.

Opened in 1933 as the first Tivoli hotel, Tivoli Avenida Liberdade occupies a unique place in the history of Portuguese hospitality as the property where the Tivoli brand was born. Today, as a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, the hotel continues to embody the timeless elegance, exceptional service, and distinctive character that have defined the brand for more than nine decades. Under Marques’ leadership, Tivoli Avenida Liberdade will continue to build on this legacy while identifying new opportunities for innovation, growth, and an increasingly distinctive guest experience.

“Taking on the role of General Manager at Tivoli Avenida Liberdade is an enormous privilege. This is a hotel that forms part of Lisbon’s identity and of the history of Portuguese hospitality. My ambition is to honor that legacy, working closely with the team to continue elevating the experience we offer our guests and reinforcing the standard of excellence for which the hotel is known,” said Jason Marques.

Marques began his hospitality career in 2003 at Pine Cliffs, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Resort in the Algarve, after completing a qualification in Sustainable Tourism at INUAF – Instituto Superior Dom Afonso III.

His international career began in Algeria, where he joined Starwood Hotels & Resorts in 2012 as Front Office Manager at Le Méridien Oran Hotel & Convention Centre. He subsequently progressed to Director of Rooms & Green Belt before taking on the position of Director of Rooms at Sheraton Club des Pins Hotel & Resort.

In 2016, Marques relocated to the Seychelles to become Executive Assistant General Manager at Le Méridien Fisherman’s Cove. Two years later, he moved to the Maldives as Resort Manager of Constance Halaveli Maldives. He returned to the Seychelles in 2020 to lead the opening of a new Marriott International resort, serving as both General Manager and Owner’s Representative.

Marques later joined Marriott International’s London headquarters as Senior Manager, Franchise Operations for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. In this role, he was responsible for overseeing the operational performance of 116 hotels across Southern Europe. In January 2024, he joined Minor Hotels as General Manager of Tivoli Alvor Algarve Resort.

Drawing on his extensive international experience, operational expertise, and understanding of luxury hospitality, Marques will work closely with the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade team to further enhance the hotel’s guest offering and reinforce its reputation as an enduring symbol of Lisbon..

Small Tip To Landing Good Senior-Level Hotel Management Positions in 2026 & 2027

Many of our members have remained with us since the inception of our job lead service nine years ago. They continue to renew their memberships, staying on board even after securing new positions, and for good reason.

Daily, our editors dispatch bulletins detailing new job vacancies, projects, and industry shifts, including hotel launches, expansions, strategies, and market trends.

We recognize that numerous long-standing, senior-level members utilize these bulletins as conversation starters, reaching out to hotel chains and potential employers, sometimes with unsolicited applications and messages. LHN endorses such proactive engagement. It's an excellent, informal method to gain early interest from prominent hotel groups and upcoming projects, indicating your interest and broadening your opportunities for intriguing interviews or discussions about potential roles, particularly at the upper echelons of management.

Our editors also keep these proactive efforts in mind, shaping many bulletins to cover "new openings, new projects, and new market developments."

While membership spots for 2026 are limited, it's not too late to renew.- Read more here
